Mongolia - Listen to the winds across the Gobi Desert

Mongolia - The Gobi Desert

As with most deserts, the Gobi has life in  miniature, and in the extremes.

 The wind is strong most of the year, so much of the plant and animal life hugs the ground. 

Listen to the wind!

The exception of course,  to ground huggers are the birds. 

They look for a high point ... but there are no trees.

Sometimes only a foot off the ground on a rock pile road marker is best you can get!

 Sunrises and sunsets are spectacular.

 

Ger camp "Hotels" in the Gobi. 

Way cool!

Wind Across Western Mongolia 

Wind Across Western Mongolia

The wind can howl whisper to you in Mongolia.

Listen to an intimate recording of the dust and grit blowing from the mountains across the plains and valleys.

Put on headphones, if you have them... 

The roads within Mongolia become dirt tracks across the landscape. Here there is little to stop the wind.

This is all one highway down the valley.
In Mongolia, like in the old Western US, you wouldn't want to ride horseback on a trail directly behind someone else and eat their dust! 

Most of the plant and animal life stays down within an inch or two of the rocky soil.
